TRAVELER RING FOR SPINNING AND, TWISTING MACHINES.

Application filed September 17, 1925. Serial No. 56,965.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnono RmNHoLn, a citizen of the German Republic, residing at Selbitz, Oberfranken, Bavaria, Germany,

have invented certain Improvements in Traveler Rings for Spinning and Twisting Machines, of which the following is a specification.

In spinning and twisting machines of the ring and traveler type, the rings are usually made of steel and are, when moist yarn is to be dealt with, liable to get spoilt by rust and to cause frequent breakage of the yarn, particularly on starting the machine.

The object of the present invention is to remedy this defect, and the invention consists in forming those parts of the ring which are not frictionally engaged by the traveler out of non-corrosive material Figs. 1 and 2 of the accompanying draw ings represent sectional views of the ring showing the traveler in different positions.

The traveler ring of a spinning or twisting machine for wet yarn, is divided into several parts, the principal portion 71-, which is made of steel, being titted at the top with a lining g and on the outside with a jacket f,

both being made of non-corrosive material.

The ring is connected to the ring rail by means of the jacket The traveler b embraces the edges of the ring by its hooked ends d and e and moves round the ring as it feeds the yarn a on to the cop 0. The upper part of the vertical limb of the traveler is offset from the ring so as to admit the yarn. This otl'set part of the traveler is situated opposite the lining 9.

The starting position of the elements is shown in Fig. 1, the traveler being pulled by the yarn away from the inside of the 40 ring. In operation, the traveler is held by centrifugal force against the inside of the ring, as shown in Fig. 2. The traveler is thus supported by the inside and the two edges of the steel ring it, and the polishing eiiect of the traveler prevents these parts of the ring from rusting. The lining g and the outside top part of the jacket f, to which the moisture spreads alongthe top end d of the traveler, will not, as they are made of non-corrosive material, be afiected by the moisture, and the entire ring will thus be protected from rust. e

' I claim:

i. In ring and traveler spinning and twistingmachines for wet yarn, a ring composed of steel and non-corrosive material, the parts which are in frictional contact with the traveler being made of steel and the other parts of non-corrosive material, substantially as (10 and for the purpose set forth.

2. In ring and traveler spinning and twisting machines for wet yarn, the combination with a ring rail of a ring comprising asteel body, a jacket of non-corrosive material surrounding said body and holding it in the ring rail, a non-corrosive lining for the up eEoRe Rnrurronnx
